We want to make sure that people living with respiratory conditions receive the best possible care and have the best possible health. We work closely with patients to make sure our audit programme focuses on improvement targets in the areas most important to people living with respiratory conditions.
Our work with patients
NRAP have established a number of vibrant patient panels and advisory groups, working with Asthma + Lung UK and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). Asthma + Lung UK represent adults with COPD and/or asthma who may also be carers. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) represent children and young people with asthma, as well as parents and carers. These patient panels meet regularly online to share their priorities for respiratory care and discuss how they think NRAP can best educate and empower both patients with respiratory disease and those responsible for the care that they receive.
Support and resources for patients
NRAP work with patients to co-create resources to help people living with respiratory conditions understand our improvement work and know how to access the best possible care.
